apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That color is seriously overpowering.

I agree with readingglasses. Way overpowering. Last year's red was a much better choice.

Oh, I love it. Cherries and corvettes and lipstick and bright plastic toys underneath the Christmas tree. It's a politically incorrect color to me, and it makes me feel racy, irresponsible and silly. I might not make good decision in a room painted that color, but I'd have a lot of fun.

I love a red room. It looks fun and fearless. Plus all you need to do to make it look festive is add, like, a twig of evergreen to the mantel, which appeals to my lazy side. ;)

I think that looks like the perfect room for that color. Good pick.

Can you tell me what kind of dr chairs those are? My new kitchen has one wall almost exactly that color (rest is white, with slate floor - not as overpowering) and I am searching for chairs.

How often do the neighbors call the fire dept?

Forget the paint, that record player is awesome.

love this red!

I think it's awesome.

I also had a hairdresser once say a similar sentiment to the one above, "Not everyone can be blonde, not everyone can be brunette, but there is a shade of red for everyone."

Looks more tomato to me, but still awesome.

Wait, why is someone choosing painters based on their design sensibilities? Or am I missing something? I thought painters, well, painted.
